INFINITY SNAKE KERCHIEF

For those looking to create a gentle reminder that life is a stream of perpetual change where bad times can flow away from us as quickly as good ones can flow in, I present to you my Infinity Snake Kerchief pattern.

Nodding to the process of ecdysis where snakes and other creatures shed their outer layers to leave behind parts of themselves that no longer serve them, this project celebrates the ways that we are all mercifully in continuous stages of transformation and renewal, winding our way through time, searching for eternal love and connection.

My experience creating the Qilada Kerchief (cross stitching onto a base of Tunisian crochet) was so enjoyable that I wanted to keep going and also use the method for this design. Satisfying to implement and far easier than it may seem, I’ve made sure to include detailed how-to images of the process at every step along the way and I am always available to answer any questions you may have.

Kelson Goods once again beautifully hand dyed two elegant shades of their yarn for the project (Workshirt in Muslin for the base and Fable in Astral Blue for the snake). Their impeccable standards always make everything easier and the blue for this project is rich and serene and perfect.

Complete with a tassel tongue and good vibes for days, I hope that you will enjoy making the Infinity Snake Kerchief as much as I did!
